Film screening: Big Night
1996, Directed by Campbell Scott and Stanley Tucci.
This poignant comedy-drama follows two immigrant brothers trying to make a go of it with an Italian restaurant in Eisenhower-era America. A great cast featuring Tony Shalhoub, Stanley Tucci, Isabella Rosselini, Minnie Driver, and Ian Holm explores questions of authenticity, assimilation, and longing -- for family, community, and great food.
The Labor Question goes to the movies in our ongoing partnership with the DeBartolo Performing Arts Center.
The Higgins Labor Program’s FILM CLASSics series features important films—at least one per —semester that probe questions of work, class, economics, identity, politics, daily life, and solidarity. Whether old or new, celebrated or obscure, famous or forgotten, these titles merit presentations in a social setting and on a big screen.
